Summary and Implications

I am in Lesson Study Two and in the third Technology presentation so I am feeling a little overwhelmed with the material now. I did not realize all the members of the lesson study group had to go through to prepare the lesson study lesson. I have a lot of respect for Group One's members because I am seeing how much time it is already going to take. I realize that both projects are coming up fast and it just shows that as a person who is preparing to be a teacher there is going to be times you are going to feel overwhelmed and not sure if you can get everything done or not. I know that this is good practice for when we get out to teach and will help us be more prepared so I am glad that we are doing both of these projects. It was exciting to see the girl I tutor that attends Elk Point-Jefferson pull on Geometry Sketchpad that her teacher had taught them a lesson on it today. It was a little sad that she was not exactly sure how to do it and that she could not explain to me how to do it, but I was excited to see a teacher using it and knowing what it is from class. I also think that watching the video and analyzing things will be greatly beneficial. I also feel like the more exposure we can get to a classroom will lessen the nerves once we become teachers. I do not think that the nerves will ever not be there, but I believe that it will help. I feel like the lesson study and technology presentation will be helpful as I continue my training. I also have realized that sometimes you have to be extremely flexible when you are a teacher. So, I feel like I am getting valuable knowledge from this class.
